🌟 Student Spotlight – Meet Our School-Based Administration Trainees! 🌟

Today we're proud to introduce another three of our amazing School-Based Trainees (SBATs), all of whom attend Peel High School and have previously participated in programs delivered through the Opportunity Hub.

👏 Left to Right:
Darius Johnston – working alongside TACCO
Brianee Cran – working alongside the Bumbira Arts & Culture Program
Jarleyah Lamb – working alongside the Opportunity Hub and TLALC Administration

These deadly students are currently completing a Certificate II in Workplace Skills while undertaking their roles as Administration Trainees with the Tamworth Local Aboriginal Land Council, all while balancing their high school studies.

Their commitment, growth, and willingness to take on new opportunities has been fantastic to see, and we're excited to support them on their journey over the next two years.

We are incredibly proud to have them on board and can't wait to see what they achieve throughout their traineeships. 💙
Keep an eye on the Tamworth Local Aboriginal Land Council page for updates as they continue to learn, grow, and build valuable skills for their future careers.

We are excited to shine the spotlight on our newest Walaaybaa Junior Ranger School Based Trainees!

All three students have been involved in our Junior Ranger Program and have consistently demonstrated dedication, commitment, and a strong passion for learning and caring for Country. Their hard work has paid off, with each student successfully securing a School Based Traineeship with the Walaaybaa Junior Ranger Program.

Over the next year, they will spend one day each week working alongside Richard, gaining hands-on experience through a range of exciting and meaningful projects while completing their Certificate II in Conservation and Ecosystem Management through TAFE NSW — all while continuing their school studies.

This is a fantastic opportunity for these young people to build practical skills, connect with culture and Country, and explore future career pathways in environmental management and conservation.
We are incredibly proud to have these young leaders on board and can't wait to watch their confidence, skills, and knowledge continue to grow.

👏 Congratulations to our newest Junior Ranger SBATs!
